Two brothers, one woman, 20 years of bad decisions — the French do romantic chaos better.
Olivier and Leo, two brothers that are moved to Paris and that life has separated ... If the first sees himself as a journalist without concessions, the second is an ambitious and opportunistic communication adviser. Noémie, a charming presidential adviser, can not, over the years, choose between them. To the amusement of Sylvain, their childhood friend, who made his fortune in Pink Minitel, their destinies intersect over 20 years, are intertwined, in a funny epic, tender and nostalgic, in the 80 / 90.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Minitel references aren't jokes — France's pre-internet network actually had 'pink' chat services that made real fortunes. Sylvain's arc is bizarrely historical.
Casta as the unattainable woman between two men is peak French cinema trope, but the film knowingly winks at it through Sylvain's commentary.
